  New Knight's Kingdom Prices
 
I hope I'm not the only one that is slightly disappointed with the new Knights Kingdom. Mostly it's because of the continuing trend by LEGO to make it nearly impossible to buy large quantities of minifigs. They did a nice job last time around by (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  USS Constitution
 
Always wanted to build a model ship out of LEGO: (2 URLs) Click the picture or: (URL) The ship features two decks below, one top side, 54 LEGO cannons, removable deck plates to check out the inside. The entire models breaks into three sections to (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jun-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, FTX) !! 
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
Hi folks, Sorry for whatever misunderstanding there may have been regarding the size of the castle. I'll try to clear things up a little. (...) I'm not quite sure where the confusion lies, but I'll try to rephrase. The castle itself can take up no (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
(...) I think this is indeed a bit confusing. I am pretty sure it is meant that the ENTIRE MOC fits on a 48 x 48, and the castle can occupy up to 36 x 48 of that. (...) I think it would be good to get that cleared up. How about the landscaping can (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
(...) I don't think item two is accurate. The actual announcement applies the 2304 stud limit to "raised landscaping" on which the castle is built, not generic "surrounding lands", which could include, oh, a green baseplate. This is actually quite a (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
(...) Right. Quite often, my mouth (and in this case, my fingers) don't actually repeat what my brain was thinking. (...) You know I love exposing secret plots. :) (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Castle Peregrine Gatehouse
 
Hi all-- I've posted some pictures of the gatehouse and drawbridge for my new castle MOC: (URL) also got a PDF of the instructions for the drawbridge. I'll post the gatehouse ones as I do them (the bridge ones took nearly a full weekend to render on (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.announce.moc)  
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
(...) I agree. (...) Great summary! Thanks! (...) EXCEPT I think you mean nothing NEWER than 19th century here. (...) Who, us organizers, guilty of elaborating as a way of drumming up excitement? Never. :-) Larry Pieniazek Display Coordinator, (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
(...) The write-up was extensive (yet interesting to read) so that may be a part of the problem. I agree that the rules, thoa, are not overly restrictive. Maybe a summary post of the rules, would be in order? Here is my attempt at a short summary: (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Site Updated: Castle Stage 3 Photos
 
(...) It's coming along very well. I like the covered wooden stairway in the back. The walls on hinges are a nice bonus. I'm looking forward to the continuing evolution of this castle. Jason Spears | (URL) BrickCentral> | (URL) MichLUG> (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Site Updated: Castle Stage 3 Photos
 
Title says it all. I've updated my site with pictures of the next section of my castle project (URL) a few of the photos are subpar, I'll use a tripod next time. (20 years ago, 3-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)  
 
  Giant Demonic Armor!
 
Well, This is my second attempt at bridging the gap between castle and mecha(an unlikely combination, i know!) and i hope that i have done better this time. With my last castle-mecha i was told that it seemed too mechish for castle, so i tried to (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.castle, lugnet.announce.moc)
 
  Re: High-Res pictures of the new Knights Kingdom Figs (both minifig and large versions)
 
(...) Ok, got the McD set today - the slopes in there are exactly what BL calls Violet. its the same color as on the NBA figs, the 8x8 plate and the HP door. If I am not mistaken this McD set came out long before any of these parts did, so thats (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
 
  Coko castle set on Ebay
 
(URL) you go.> I don't know the seller, and I won't be bidding. Coko has a few sets very similar to this. I own one of them, but I'm not sure if it's this one. In any case, elements of note are a bunch of 1x4 and 1x2x8 arch bricks, as well as a (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.castle, FTX)

  Re: Where do these green hoods come from?
 
(...) They don't really look like spraypaint to me. Perhaps someone has an irregular source for parts. I've heard of some people getting random stuff from the floors of the LEGO studios for stuff like brown antenaes etc. But I dunno. -Lenny (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: TOWER CASTLE
 
(...) Thanx.... glad you like it.... the reason I used white not black is that real Norman tower castles dont use black corner stones... When I went to see Dover Castle and the Tower of London in England, they have a white corner stones... I (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
Yea big, yea high, four walls, minifig scale, not 20th century. What was too complicated about the rules? (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
(...) A castle competition sounds cool but there are wayyyyyy too many rules for something that is supposed to fun. Granted I’m not a castle builder but I highly suggest simplifying the rules a bit if you want people to consider building something (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Is this for real?
 
(...) Sorry to reply to my own post but. . . look at the peice holding up the flame on the left on the big castle. is that blue stuff paint a reflection or what? weird. (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
